Ji-sun is Korean in Origin.

Ji-sun (지선) is a Korean given name formed from two Sino-Korean elements. Depending on the hanja selected, Ji may mean 'wisdom' (智), 'will/ambition' (志), or 'to know' (知), while Sun/Seon can mean 'goodness/virtue' (善), 'to proclaim' (宣), 'first' (先), or 'line' (線). A popular pairing is 智善, yielding the auspicious sense 'wise and virtuous.' South Korea permits dozens of hanja for each syllable, so precise meanings vary by family choice.

Used since at least the mid-20th century, Ji-sun fits the long-standing Korean pattern of two-syllable names and aligns with the late-1900s rise of the Ji- element, making it especially common for women though technically unisex. Variants and spellings include Jisun, Ji Seon, Ji-seon (Revised Romanization), and the McCune–Reischauer form Chi-sŏn; many bearers prefer 'Sun' over 'Seon' in international contexts. The name conveys polished, traditional charm with modern readability.
